Years of us balling up our little fists and shrieking at celebu-men to get their pants hemmed and this is the result: pure high-waters. Look at how low these are sitting on his hips. Those pants are yanked as far down as they can possibly go because someone got a little over-zealous in their hemming. And that jacket button is seconds away from taking out some poor photographer’s eye.

Look, celebu-guys: we love the slim-cut, high-hemmed suit, but it is definitely not a look for every guy out there, and since so many male celebrities are required to stay muscular for the kinds of roles they get, a lot of them really can’t pull off this look. Stephen, get yourself a nice Tom Ford suit.* You’re right in the zone for his broad-shouldered silhouette (unlike Henry Cavill, who passed that zone about 15 pounds of muscle ago).

Aww, he looks like a little boy who’s outgrown his first suit, and mom hasn’t had time to take him to Men’s Warehouse for a new one yet.

Exactly!

Oh Lord – I posted exactly the same thing before scrolling down!

He has good mustache possibilities but the rest has to go.

You know, Men’s Wearhouse had a Father’s Day sale last weekend – and I was able to make it in and get some new shirts and jackets, and my current jackets re-tailored for “Executive Fit” (a nice way to say, “Getting a bit big for that, ain’t you?”). I’m sure Mr. Amell could take a half-hour off of bodybuilding to get some new clothes from there….

Do socks make that much of a difference? I have no sense of smell, so I have no personal experience. All I know is that every cat I’ve ever had apparently loves the stink of my feet, to the point where they stick their heads in my just-removed shoes and huff.

I saw Carson Kressley on something last night and he was sock-less. I cried.

I must submit that Kevin McHale had the edge of a pair of low cut footie socks peeking just barely out at one side of one of his shoes the other day.

I choose to think that at least some of the rest of these fellas are wearing those also. The alternative simply does not bear thinking of.

forward_slash_PRS

Yes! I noticed Kevin McHale’s socks also & thought it was a nice (& probably comfortable) alternative to this new sockless thing, especially since they were almost unnoticeable.

MilaXX

Poor thing. He looks crazy in that tiny suit. And the person who gave him monkey arms needs to be shot.

HomeOfficeGirl

I want to know who the girls are all looking at because they seem way more excited about what’s out of the camera shot than Stephen who looks like a 15 year old wearing his suit from two years ago.

gabbilevy

Well it’s not Bieber because he didn’t show up to collect his award… but SRSLY ladies, you have a front row seat to Stephen’s ass. And based on what they’ve shown on arrow, it is NOT to be missed.

Lisa McKissack

I think I may need to start watching Arrow.

lovelyivy

I tried. He is hot, but not hot enough to make me watch that show. Sigh.

Lisa McKissack

Even with Barrowman? Cause Barrowman and Amell together would possibly overheat my TV.

drdarke

It’s actually not bad, @lovelyivy:disqus – and far above average for a CW show! (Well, most of his female co-stars aside – they’re right in CW’s wheelhouse, which is to say “Cast for their legs and cheekbones, not for any discernible acting talent!”)

I’ll give this to Amell – he may not give a crap how he looks in the normal world, but he’s clearly committed to being the best Oliver Queen he can be, and it shows.

lovelyivy

Okay, Barrowman might be enough to make me watch the how actually.

It’s tragic for his career that the fans are studiously avoiding looking at him because they have hopes that someone more important to them will be coming from their left.

Just take a look at the first close up. The lapels are puckered, and a bit lumpy. Most often this is from sub standard interfacing, that is improperly handled in construction. In a well made suit the interfacing layer is hand basted down across its whole surface with long parallel rows of stitches. I don’t think that was done here.

decormaven

No fine tailoring found in this suit, that’s for sure. Pity- this fellow has potential, but the styling doesn’t further his cause.

filmcricket

Thank you! I just thought that was all of a piece with the ill-fitting jacket, but now that you say it, I can see it.

Kimbolina

I don’t like how noticeable the topstitching is.

marlie

He clearly borrowed this suit at the last minute from his shorter and slightly thinner roommate. There’s no other excuse for this.

nannypoo

In addition to his confirmation suit he has a 6th grader’s summer haircut.

acevedob

Lol…tailors and stylists were so mad at you guys that now they’re going in the opposite direction….

Frank_821

That;s just embarrassing. It’s like they screwed up which suit to give him and they were stuck with this.

Sad thing is with a body like his, you would think he could fill out a suit very nicely. Muscular and cut but not too bulky. Just the right amount of proportioned beef

DaveUWSNYC

The color’s just right for his eyes. Or vice-versa.

jw_ny

at least he has on the correct color shoes with the blue suit, and is wearing an interesting tie…not that black knit one that seems to be the latest craze…

crash1212

It never occurred to me that finding a suit that fit correctly would be SO hard!
